LOOK WHAT I FOUND



Every time I see all the gorgeous tablescapes that everyone does, I am always especially drawn to the gorgeous pierced, lacy chargers that I see. I set out on a quest to find some. Well, there are some gorgeous ones out there, but way out of my price range, but I stumbled upon these. I just think they're gorgeous and really affordable. At Uptown Baskets I found a set of 4 12 1/2 inch chargers for $24.95. Can't beat that. They are metal, and that's even better because if you don't want white you can paint them. Now how fun would that be. The site and order information is shown below. Hopefully it will enlarge enough to read. If not the toll free number is 1-800-811-4438. At this price this can be just as much fun for all the tablescapers as the Target Birdie Salt and Peppers.





I have ordered mine and can't wait to get them. I love passing along a bargain. Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate the visit.

Oh Marty, I love these! And I love the fact that they are metal and could be painted if you wanted a change. But I think the white is more versatile. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Hugs Kathy

I love those lacy chargers too! Thanks for the tip! I was looking at that wonderful chocolate pie recipe! I love a good ole fashion chocolate pie! My mother used to make one similar for Thanksgiving and every year we'd joke if it was going to set well enough to eat with a fork instead of a spoon!! God bless you today! Lauralu :)
